Experiencing the joys of teaching!


This could be any of my adorable pre-teens in my sixth grade class. It takes a special person to be a sixth grade "lifer"!

Today we had an earthquake drill. My response to such a situation was surprising. As I am sitting underneath my desk covering my head I thought to myself, "Ahhh, it is so cool and peaceful under my desk, too bad we can't have more of these!" I really do love teaching but I have a couple of students today that almost got me to lose it and say something I would definitely regret. I think that most teacher's develop "think time" in other classrooms when it could be more appropriately "You better go to another classroom while all of your body parts are still properly attached!" Not that I am a violent person by nature, but some of these sixth graders really no how to push my buttons! Good thing I have yoga tonight!!^^
